Question 944002: an equilateral triangle has a perimeter in meters of 6a + 9. what is an expression in simplest form for the length of each side in meters Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An equilateral triangle has all three sides(s) equal, therefore perimeter(P) is the following formula,
P = 3*s
We are given that P = 6*a + 9, therefore
3*s = 6*a + 9
Divide both sides of = by 3
s = 2*a + 3 meters
